JOHN R MADDOX’ Editor -
SATURDAY JUNK 5, 1886.
John Kellv, Tammany Hall’s
chief, died at his home in New York
citv Tuesday evening at 4 o’clock. j

The Constitution says General
Gordon will be triumphantly elected. norni- :
nated and overwhelmingly j
—----- 7~ . ,
Politics like |K>'erty ma es o iang( j
bed fellows. This fact is being very
clearly exemplified in Georgia just j
now.
The republicans of Pickens county
elected delegates, but they will hard¬
ly secure seats in a democratic con¬
vention.
Out of the 9 counties that select¬
ed gubernatorial delegates Tuesday
7 were for Gordon and 2 for Bacon.
Gordon got 16 delegates and Bacon
4.
There was a rumor in^ Macon the
other day that General Gordon was
about to “come down.’’ It seems that
he is “coming down” on Bacon like
a thousand of brick whenever the
people have a chance to speak.
The prevalent excitement over the
Gubernatorial campaign makes the
outlook rather discouraging Tor the
Congressional candidates. Who we
shall send tc Congress, however, is
not a less important matter than who
shall he Governor.
Whenever a disputant eondecends
to vulgarizing or charges upon his
competitor promiscuous lying, it in¬
dicates his cause is desperate and
uncertain, and that he cares not how
base the means be may use so that
lie attains the object of his desire.
The Holiness Ascociation has been
in session at Griffin since Monday
night There are some fifty or six¬
ty delegates in attendance. Five
services are held daily, one of them
being an open air service on every
afternoon on Hill street at 3:30
o'clock. A greut deal of interest is
manifested and there is no question
but that much good is being accom¬
plished.
The prohibition election in Spald
ing county is red hot. Both sides
are working night and day. The
campaign has developed a number
of orators and every night dozens of
meetings throughout the county are
addressed by zealous advocates of
the pros and antis. The young
men’s prohibition club numbers
160.
The interest which many of the
towns throughout the state are tak¬
ing in establishing parks within
their limits is commendable. Notii
ing contributes more to the pleasure
of the |>eople of a town than attrac
live park. Every town in the state
ought to have a park, and no town
will regret the money spent for one.
A Fashion paper says “intense
mourning” is voted vulgar in “re
fined circles.” It is supposed that low in¬ in
tense grief is also considered
high toned circles. It is a wonder
the members of “refined circles ’ don t
make a move to banish death alto
gether. as it is an old fashion in¬
dulged in by the very poorest and
unrefined.
The executive committee of Wal¬
ton county met Wednesday and de¬
cided to have a primary election on
tiie 7t h of July, the voters to vote di¬
rectly for the"candidates for govern
or, and the candidate receiving the
largest number of votes will get the
vote of the county. The primary is
to be held on the same day of the
fence election. There will be 1,200
votes cast in the primary.
At Rome Friday night a collection
was taken up in the Methodist
church, and Dr. Kendall placed and the
amount collected or. the pulpit
left the church, forgetting to take
the money with him. Saturday
morning the money was gone. Tom
Cooper, a young negro who swept
the church was arrested on suspi¬
cion, and finally admitted that he
had taken the 'money. Twelve dol
lars and sixty cents was found on
bis person.
A Ninth Georgia regiment soldier
writes from Cbeevertown, Baker
county, thus: We know that Major
Bacon resigned his place as adju¬
tant of the Ninth Georgia, for we
were there, and his health was bet
ter at that time than a good many Gen¬
privates that could not resign.
eral Gordon was among the last to
leave us, and so we will be the last
to leave him at the polls. Give us
primary elections and Gordon will
be as he was in Lee's arm}'—ahead.
Tuesday was a Waterloo for Ma¬
jor Bacon and a grand victory for
General Gordon. A number of
counties that were thought to have
been fixed for Bacon and were hast¬
ened up to hold mass meetings show¬
ed the strength of Gordon. Seven
counties elected Gordon delegates—
Dooly. Forsyth, Polk, Gordon, Car
roll, Lumpkin and Murray, and two
counties went for Bacon—Catoosa
and Columbia—while Haralson
showed up Gordon men two to one
and the mass meeting was reconsid¬
ered and a primary called.
THELOCAIPAPEE.
What tellsso readily the standard
of a town or city as the appearance
of its newspaper? The enterprise
of its citizens is depicted by its ad
vertisements, their liberality by the
looks of the people. Some papers
show a good, solid, healthy founda
tion, plethoric purses, and a well to
do appearance generally; others
s | Ion - a striving to contend with the
grasping multitudes around them,
( r yj n g to wrench out an existence
from the close fisted community
aroun( j them. An occasional tnete
oric display in its columns shows
what i< could do if it had the means
but it cannot continue its expensive
work unless supixtrt 1 1 comes which

Hon. P. L, Mynstt. as a member
of the Georgia house of representa¬
tives in 1879, introduced the bill to
prevent railroads from pooling their
earnings.
The one-armed veteran, George N.
Lester, will make a notable figure on
the Gordon side of July’s convention.
A mortgage on one of the colored
churches at Blakely had to he re
moved, and the members had bound
themselves under a promise to pay
it. The pastor saw it was going to
be a hard matter to raise the money,
so he told the members if they did
not bring up the amount needed he
would turn them out of the church
for lying. The next Sunday, wc un
derstand, the money was raised—
the women carrying $1 and the men
$1 50.
A lawyer attended prayer meeting,
and being called on to lead in prayer,
delivered himself thusly, says an ex¬
change: “Know all men by these
presents that we, as devoted and
humble petitioners, would offer up
our feeble petition to the throne
grace, expressing our heartfelt
thanks to the Most High for all the
blessings of life, towit: Life, health,
strength, food and raiment. And
we would implore the Supreme Ruler
to continue these blessings as afore
said. Purgo us from all former sins
and transgressions, and afford us
that relief which may in your judg¬
ment seems proper in the premises.
Give us a clear title that to celestial
reality beyond the river, a title clear
from all incumbrance, and your pe¬
titioners will ever pray. A men
A Dakota Judge, in the course of
his charge to the jury recently,
touched on an important point. Ho
said: “Although the prosecution
has established the fact that the do
fendant’s father was once a member
of the Legislature, this should have
no influence with you in bringing in
your verdict. The unfortunate af¬
fair in the lifte of his father might,
of course, make us look with suspi
cion on the family, but at the same
time it really proves nothing against deeply
the defendant, as he may as
deplore the conduct of his paternal
relative as any of us.”
The Commissioner of Agriculture,
Judge Henderson, in a short corner
tion, says the increase this year in
planting shows that the acreage of
corn is greater than last year, and
the stand, although a little backward,
is now getting along finely, owing to
the recent rains that have fallen in
many portions of the State. Judge
Henderson will, at an early day, visit
the farms of about fifteen planters
who are paying attention to the cul
tivation of tobacco on a large scale,
for the purpose of seeing how they
are getting along.
A Western firm guarantees a wife
to every man who purchases of them
a suit of clothes. What this couu
try needs is somebody to guarantee who
a suit of clothes to every man
gets a wife.
At the residence of Senator Col¬
quitt, at 8 o’clock, Wednesday
night, Miss Lizzie, his eldest dangh
ter, was married to Captain W. S.
Marshall, of the United States Corps
of Engineers, Gen. C. A. Evans otli
dating. A large crowd were pres¬
ent, friends of the bride and a num¬
ber of the friends of the groom. The
latter is a decendent of Chief Jus¬
tice Marshall. The couple left At¬
lanta Thursday night on the Wes
tern and Atlantic railroad for Ken

they go to Milwaukee.
John Most, the New York anarch¬
ist, has been sentenced to the peni¬
tentiary for one year and fined #500.
His associate Braunschin, got nine
months in the penitentiary and was
fined $250. Schench whs sent to the
penitentiary for nine months, but
not fined.
